Like shining oil, this night is dripping down Stars are slipping down Glistening And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now No deceiving now It's time you let me know Let me know (Chorus) When the lights go out and we open our eyes Out there in the silence I'll be gone I'll be gone Let the sun fade out and another one rise Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone I'll be gone This air between us is getting thinner now Into winter now Bittersweet Across that horizon this sun is setting down You're forgetting now It's time you let me go Let me go (Chorus) (Bridge) (Chorus)
